``bordervm`` is included for this purpose. You will need
* a Linux machine with a spare PCI ethernet card which you can dedicate to Liminix
* a Linux machine with a spare (PCI or USB) ethernet device which you can dedicate to Liminix
* an L2TP service such as https://www.aa.net.uk/broadband/l2tp-service/
You need to configure the Ethernet card for VFIO passthru, then
You need to "hide" the Ethernet device from the host - for PCI this
means configuring it for VFIO passthru; for USB you need to
unload the module(s) it uses. Then
you can execute :command:`run-border-vm` in a ``buildEnv`` shell,
which starts up QEMU using the NixOS configuration in
:file:`bordervm-configuration.nix`.
